Life Power Tip Do something today that makes a difference to December, this year. Do you remember November and December, last year? Sit down and list a few actions that you could take this week that will make a difference to that time of the year for you. Make this next December about being special to other people and not about the mad rush and self-focus that usually takes over at that time. Action Go for a season using natural remedies only (unless otherwise prescribed by a doctor). Challenge Do not oversize any of today’s problems. In fact, focus on minimizing their effect on you. Quote Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams Clearing Create a folder to house all promotional material you want to keep. Question How do you benefit by not achieving your goals? Affirmation I choose to be a champion. Uplifting Extra Silence is often treated like a convenience. It is something we reach for when the washing machine is on or the neighbours are mowing their lawns. People imagine silence as absence rather than presence, a resting place not a resource. Silence is more than absence of noise. It’s a tool for clarity, strength and insight. Explore how cultivating quiet moments can enhance focus, decision-making, relationships and resilience. Make silence a daily source of power. (Link is below)

Video description from YouTube: Bitcoin’s BIP-110 soft fork briefly split the chain—but the failed Bitcoin fork may have proven the opposite of corporate capture: nobody, from Michael Saylor and BlackRock to miners and node operators, can unilaterally change Bitcoin’s rules. Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan and U.S. Treasury spent an estimated $87 billion defending the yen as Jamie Dimon exposed what truly supports the dollar’s reserve-currency status. This episode connects Bitcoin consensus, mining centralization, self-custody, hashrate, fiscal dominance, inflation, capital flows, and the accelerating search for neutral digital money.

Life Power Tip Do something for your body and mind today.
